A Series of Embarrassing Events Chapter Three: Run SATURDAY 20TH JUNE 2020 (THE LONGEST DAY) The weather was hot and a little clammy in Baron's Woods and in ten minutes Noah was clammy too. His penis jiggled around as he ran but he was unaroused so the stubby dick didn't flop about too much. Noah's balls were loose though and they swung about as he beat feet between the trees. Noah was running along a path that wove through the trees, shrubs and bushes; in some places they were crowded together an in others they had socially distanced themselves. The paths had been worn by years of footfall from runners, cyclist and dog walkers. The woods held small clearings where older kids hung out at night to drink booze and smoke... stuff... Noah didn't really know much about recreational drugs. Some of the paths diverted to the outer edge of the woods, where they came within sight of the backroads through town - but the path itself kept Noah relatively hidden under a canopy of trees. Noah ran four laps around the long and winding paths (a single circuit of the woods was nearly a mile and a half) and took Noah on a forty-five-minute streak starting and ending at his home. Home was in Five Dukes county on the Southern coast of England and sandwiched between East and West Sussex. Five Dukes was so named after the city of Dukesbridge and the surrounding large towns of Dukeskettle, Dukesbank, Dukeswell and Dukeshead. The hills, woods, harbour and beach were all named after the lesser noble title of Baron; High Baron, Baron's Woods and so on. It was really quite a pompous arrangement of epithets which suited the county quite nicely. Dukesbridge became a city as part of the Millennium celebrations; it was affluent and enhanced by the neighbouring towns with similar names. Noah's house backed directly onto Baron's Woods so as Noah began to explore his interest in nudism, the woods had been the perfect place to strip off. Noah enjoyed being naked in the woods. Stripping in the woods brought a thrill all of its own. The first few times Noah had taken his clothes off were lodge in his memory. Noah had taken them off nervously, keeping only his little briefs on but venturing no farther than a few paces and running back to his clothes when he heard so much as a bird call or a twig snap. In recent months, running naked and alone in the woods had been a way to pass the time during the nationwide lockdown due to covid-19. Schools were closed and so were gyms, cafes, libraries, etc. The opportunity to be outside was almost luxurious and the opportunity to be naked too was too good to pass up. Dog walkers and runners sometimes used the woods but most people didn't venture too deeply into isolated places by themselves. Noah never felt threatened in the woods – this wasn't Midsomer county. He had told Daniel about his nudism and an embarrassing event involving a charity collection – that had got Noah wondering how else to explore his sexuality and naked interests. The first time Noah stripped completely starkers in the woods was six months ago, a few weeks after turning fifteen. Noah ventured into Baron's Woods wearing trainers (no socks), shorts and t-shirt and a hoodie; it had been a Saturday in November but the temperature had reached fifteen degrees that day. He jogged for twenty minutes along the path that roughly followed the edge of the woods, though to get to the proper border he'd have had to push through bushes and bracken. Mud had kicked up as he ran, spattering his silky legs – the mucky boy needed a shower when he went home. After twenty minutes of running, Noah cut onto a path less travelled, venturing deeper into the woods, and came to a small clearing. It was the middle of the day but he hadn't seen a soul. Noah took off his trainers and felt damp grass underfoot, the sensations travelled up his hairless legs which were already tingling with excitement. Noah unzipped his hoodie and slipped it off so he wore only a t-shirt and shorts. He put the hoodie and trainers into his backpack and peeled off his t-shirt so he was topless; his nipples were hard enough to cut glass and plops of water from the trees above dashed themselves on Noah's bare shoulders. Noah's dick was hard too and this time felt different to any other time when he'd taken his clothes off – because he was outside and in lieu of underwear, shorts were his only item of clothing. Fucking hell! Noah dropped his shorts to his narrow ankles and was totally naked. All the clothes went into the backpack which he hid behind a fallen log shielded by shrubbery. Noah was bare naked outside! It was exhilarating! At fifteen he was lower average for height and had started puberty years ago but not advanced much in the hair department; he still had smooth legs, sparse patches in his underarms and only a little patch of pubes above his penis. Embarrassingly, in the tiniest of swimming trunks, not a single pubes showed because the patch was so neat. Noah swam at school, before it had closed in March (bloody covid-19) and got teased for being such a boy. Noah's chest and inner thighs and even bum hole were all smooth as satin while everyone else at Five Dukes Boys School were advancing in the pube-pride department. Noah was teased sometimes for being a smoothie but didn't mind too much - the hottest guys he'd ever seen in porn were smooth. Besides, his big brother Daniel was a hunk of a man and he had smooth legs - Dan was nearly twenty-one years old. Despite his excitement and exhilaration, Noah's penis was soft. This was an exploration of nudism – he wasn't quite ready to explore exhibitionism. Unaroused, Noah's penis was two and a half inches - the foreskin hiding the head of his dick - but it looked neat, cute even. As Noah walked away from his hidden clothes, he started getting a boner. Fully hard, Noah was six inches long (if he rounded up the last fifth of an inch) and he was there before he reached the other side of the clearing. His hard-on leaked an abnormal volume of pre-cum - Noah knew this must have a medical term - which dribbled from the moment he was hard. Silvery stands of goo dethatched as he walked and hit the grass, his thigh or his feet. He walked carefully because he was barefoot, the absence even of footwear invigorating him even more. Noah walked out of the clearing and onto the path, this was the farthest he had ever gone before but he loved the feel of the freedom and the excitement of being naked. Noah knew the difference between exhibitionism and nudism - the former derived satisfaction from being seen and the latter from simply being naked. Noah's erection was a learned response to nudity but Noah didn't help things by stroking his bare skin until he couldn't resist the temptation - grabbing his dick and giving it a squeeze. The mild November wouldn't last long but the cold and damp of the woods felt even more exciting for Noah's nakedness. He walked around for a bit, posing and touching himself. Noah kept walking farther from his clothes, stroking his dick and feeling the grass under his bare feet, the wind on his skin and the sun breaking through the canopy. Noah had nothing to keep the time so he walked until he wanted to cum – as a horny teenager, that did not take long - and then walked back. Noah held off ejaculating until he got back to the clearing where he lay on his back in the centre and jerked his dick. Noah's hand wandered over his body and reached between his legs to play with the spot between his scrotum and his anus. When he squirted his load, it splashed on his chest and stomach and Noah rubbed it in like suntan lotion. When Noah got dressed, he put the t-shirt on last to give the cum time to dry and walked home in his shorts and t-shirt and feeling very good indeed. He was going to do this more often. Eventually, common sense prevailed as November gave way to December, January and February and they were much to inclement to continue naked walks or runs. March wasn't much better in terms of the weather but it was the beginning of improvement from unagreeable to daily naked runs. In the eight months since his birthday, Noah had grown more comfortable at home - walking around in his underpants until the embarrassing day Daniel had caught him. Daniel was quick to ask questions and quick to accept Noah's penchant for not wearing clothes - supporting it even. Noah told Daniel everything and Dan always listened – he still mocked and teased sometimes but that was ok. Dad still didn't know but he worked away for months at a time. He'd been stranded in America since the travel ban (bloody covid-19). Back in March, Dan had laughed hard when Noah told his big brother about going outside in just a t-shirt, getting his balls fondled and then a cute older boy watching him masturbate. After that, Dan encouraged Noah to be naked more and more; on reflection that incident was a prelude to embarrassing events. By the time spring was warm enough for outdoor nudity, Noah had lost some of his nerve but Daniel suggested he run nude in the woods - combining exercise with nudity. The woods were literally in their back garden - the garden had a six-foot fence but the fence had a door. Noah ran most days because he didn't need to be at school, educating himself at home. Officially, the school summer holidays didn't begin for another few weeks but schools had been closed since March and home schooling had become increasingly arduous as summer blazed outside. Enjoying the English summer was nice enough but the McNelis family had plans to go to France in August so Noah hoped some of the travel restriction would be over by then. Meanwhile, Noah started his days with some physical exertion – a naked run. Ever the caring brother, Daniel even bought Noah a (very) small bag - the straps were thin and the bag itself big enough for a pair of shorts and at a push a hoodie – just in case he ran into anyone. By the time June had rolled around, the days were long and the weather hot. Noah no longer packed the hoodie - just the shorts for emergencies. Noah packed it the night before so when his alarm went off at 06:00, he hopped out of bed, put on his trainers, grabbed the bag and was on the run in less than five minutes. Noah's routine was positively predictable – no-one ever saw him and Noah never quite secure with his route and routine. It couldn't last forever – familiarity breeds contempt and it was routine that first revealed Noah's nudity to someone he knew... besides his own brother. On the longest day of the year, the sun rose at 04:46 but Noah's alarm didn't rouse him until 6AM. Noah been sleeping in the nude even in winter and in the summer, he sometimes lay on top of the bed without a sheet. Cock and balls and nips on show to anyone who walked in – unless he had company over, then he put on shorts or something. His friends Toby, Samir and Mateo hadn't been over since his return from France so naked sleeping it was. There was always the risk he'd flash the window cleaners but so far there was no indication the family who cleaned the windows had seen him. One of the sons was Noah's age but they didn't go to the same school. Nevertheless, it would have been embarrassing if Scott saw him naked. The biggest risk in his house was not his friends, the window cleaners or his big brother Daniel but Dan's best friend Jamie who had all but moved into the spare room during their University years. Jamie was hot stuff and just the thought of him made Noah want to stroke off but he resisted a pre-run cock rub. However, he had returned home to help his parents during the nationwide lockdown due to corona virus. Noah lifted his little bag from beside his bedroom door and stepped into the hall – he always put his just-in-case shorts in the bag the night before so all he needed to do was lift it. Daniel and Jamie were still sleeping and their dad had returned to America where his job would keep him away for another few months. Noah padded barefoot and bare-arsed downstairs and slipped his trainers on at the backdoor where he'd left them. He unlocked the door and stepped onto the deck at the back. Outside in his back garden, balls-out naked. Lovely. Noah's penis was short and shrivelled at the moment but his testicles were quite loose – dangling an inch or so inside the silky sac. Noah wasn't bothered by his unimpressively flaccid appearance – he never saw anyone in the woods at this time in the morning and if he did, the shorts were there in an emergency. What could possibly go wrong? Noah locked the door and slipped his key into a pouch in the front of the bag and then slipped the straps over his shoulders. The bag weighed almost nothing even with the shorts inside and as he ran the bag patted the small of his back as he pounded the track underfoot. It was barely 6AM and already hot outside. It was the longest day of the year, with daylight blessing the skies for sixteen and a half hours. Noah would have plenty of time to waste once he was finished his daily dose of impact exercise in the muggy woods. Noah felt a gentle breeze on his skin, his hair had recently been cut - short back and sides but longer on top - but the pile of hair on top was blown by the dry air. Noah's thin blonde hair would give him bedhead all day unless he put some kind of product in it. Noah walked to the bottom of the garden, unlatched the gate and stepped into the woods, pulling the gate behind him. A forty-five-minute run would have him home before the next-door neighbours were awake; sometimes he could hear early morning traffic on his return route but the actual roads were beyond the line of trees, bushes and shrubs. Noah's heart was pounding as he ran, sweat gathered on his chest, under his arms and in his groin. He'd come a long way since November - he no longer got hard the minute he was naked and he wasn't embarrassed about being flaccid. Noah was a grower not a shower, though he hoped the show would grow another inch or two as he matured. His balls were a law unto themselves, sometimes dangling low in a saggy smooth sac and other times suspended so high, it looked like they hadn't dropped yet. Today, they were smacking his thighs like a Newton's cradle. Noah wasn't particularly upset or embarrassed about being so smooth either; since starting puberty, Noah had developed wispy fair hair in his pits and above his penis that most people would think was inadequate. However, Noah was reassured that he was becoming more comfortable with his own body. Beads of sweat trickled down his bare back and tickled the back of his legs; he also felt a dot of perspiration roll over his ankle bone to be absorbed by the cuff of his trainers. Noah had to admit, the early morning nude run was a fantastic suggestion by his big brother – a way to explore outdoor nudity in seclusion. Daniel was straight but was a fierce ally - his best friend Jamie was gay and few people made negative comments about it once. No-one made negative comments twice. Daniel was proving to be a supportive ally of Noah's interest in nudism too - thinking of ways to help him explore it. Today was the day that reminded Noah Dan also liked to tease and exploit it too. Noah had been running for half an hour - fifteen minutes to go - when everything changed. He was so used to seeing no-one in the woods that he didn't see some-one until it was too late. Noah carried shorts in his bag so he could stop, hide and put them on at a moment's notice. However, he never appreciated that he might be so stunned if he saw someone that he'd carry on with full-frontal exposure. The worst part was, the someone on the path ahead of him was someone he knew - his best friend Toby. Toby was sitting on "the temple" which was really no more than an old stone shed - the boys didn't even know what the hell it really was, why it was there, what it had been used for or why kids called it the temple. All Noah knew was that Toby was standing beside the temple and watching him with his mouth agape as it became obvious his best friend was totally naked. Noah skidded to a halt, scooped up his balls and cupped his sweaty nether regions. "Toby? What... what are you doing here?" Noah asked, shamefaced. "More importantly, why are you naked?" Toby giggled with a blush of his own. "Because... just because..." Noah said. One would have thought Noah would have thought about what he'd say if he was ever caught but his mind was muddled. All Noah could think was he was skinny, naked, and hairless outdoors in broad daylight and being looked at by his best friend. "Toby, why are you here?" Noah asked again for lack of anything else to ask. "You invited me," Toby said, as if talking to an idiot. Considering Noah's litany of reasons for being mortified at that moment, maybe Toby was talking to an idiot. For his part, Toby was torn between looking, gazing, staring and averting his eyes. "I didn't invite you," Noah replied. "Did." "Didn't." "You did," Toby insisted; "You sent me a message on Sextr last night." Noah knew he had sent no message but he had a fair idea who had. He was going to kill Daniel when he got home. Noah and Toby had both downloaded Sextr at the same time – at the end of March. It was originally launched as a dating app - like Tinder of Grindr - but then moved onto microblogging to capitalise on Tumblr's decision to haemorrhage users. Tumblr's adult content ban caused a surge in adult content apps but Sextr had transcended its original purpose. Sextr described itself as a sexual experience app. The boys mostly used it to message each other and neither shared their respective search interests. Since Noah was fifteen and Toby had only turned sixteen last month, their own profiles were not explicit. Although age of consent in the United Kingdom is sixteen, the app prevented users under the age of eighteen posting nude images publicly – because, you know... that would be wrong! One could privately store any images they wanted and DM anything they liked though. Noah wondered if the 18+ rule was the same reason UK porn didn't use sixteen- or seventeen-year olds - because it couldn't get sold to the profitable USA market. Also, because... that would be wrong! One of Sextr's most popular features was to help people with different sexual interests engage with each other. Like floppy dicks or droopy boobs or ginger pubes? Want to meet people who are into scatology or urination? Send or receive private messages or participate in group chats? Arrange activities? Stream yourself live to thousands? Want to be set dares, tasks or challenges? Sextr is the app for you. The main features were: Add-Me, Message-Me, Date-Me, Task-Me, Group-Me, Event-Me and Live-Me. These were in addition to the usual picture and video reblogging or sharing that made Instagram and Tumblr so popular. Dan had suggested Noah would be very popular on Sextr, with or without nudes, and had encouraged him to post shirtless pics but so far Noah had balked. Noah idly wondered what would happen if he tried to post nudes of himself? He was tempted to try it to find out but would anyone want to see a skinny, naked fifteen-year-old teenager like him? "I didn't send you a message," Noah said. The hands around his genitals were getting hot and clammy and he felt ridiculously exposed in front of his best friend. The exposure was totally different to the exposure he'd felt in France in front of strangers he'd never need to see again. "You said to meet you at the temple in Baron's Woods at half six in the morning..." Toby insisted; "And you are here at half six." "Dan must've sent it because he knew I'd be passing here at that time," Noah complained; "Daniel sent the message to embarrass me." "You've nothing to be embarrassed about," Toby observed and then blushed. Noah had known he as gay for a few years but hadn't told his friends yet – only his big brother. Noah had told Dan he was gay when he was thirteen so he wasn't sure what had held him back from telling others. His friends (Toby, Mateo and Samir) were all cool and would accept him. Noah guessed he quite liked having a secret part of himself, like maybe they knew his favourite movies and crisp flavours but they didn't know everything. Now that Noah had been caught, he felt it was time to admit to his nudism and exhibitionism – at least to Toby – and maybe it was time to come out? Noah's only disappointment in being gay was he'd been sold a shoddy gaydar. He couldn't tell if Toby was gay or not gay, curious, bisexual or maybe he was straight? Maybe Noah just wished his friend liked boys? Since they never talked about sexuality, Noah really didn't know. All Noah knew as he was still naked and Toby was staring. "Can you stop looking at me?" Noah asked but he was smiling. Still covered his penis though. "Where else am I going to look?" Toby said reasonably. If their roles were reversed, Noah would be staring too. "Fine. I guess I should put my shorts on," Noah said. He had to let go of his gonads to do it and he blushed as he exposed his flaccid dick to his best mate. Toby looked of course - the neat patch of hair above a smallish dick but it was soft so who knew what it looked like hard? Noah took his bag off his back, pulled it open and discovered it was empty. Noah was going to kill Daniel twice. "Dan took my shorts too," Noah said miserably. Noah always packed his little bag the night before. Daniel must have sneaked the shorts out while he was sleeping and messaged Toby to embarrass/ meet him in the woods. "You were enjoying running with your willy out a minute ago," Toby pointed out. Noah blushed at the diminutive word referring to his penis. "Yea and now I'm embarrassed. I always thought I'd see someone coming and get my shorts on fast," Noah replied; "I never thought I'd actually get caught with my dick out." "It's fine," Toby said with a chuckle; "Let's run back to your place and I'll try not to look anymore." Noah put the bag back on his back - Toby sneaked a peek at his friend's bare bum and thought it was the best thing he'd ever seen - and they set off at a jog. Toby wasn't as strong a runner so the final fifteen minutes took twenty; Toby wasn't deliberately holding Noah back to prolong the exhibition - he really was just slower. "So... you run naked often?" Toby asked while they ran. Noah blushed and covered his dick again then let it go - it was more difficult to run like that and he felt sillier covering up than he did letting it hang out. "Yea. Most days since the weather improved. The last three months, I guess?" Noah admitted. The months had started to blend together because of the shitshow that was coronavirus. "Ok... Why?" Toby asked - sensible question. "I like it. I like being naked. I like being naked at home too," Noah admitted. He felt very silly saying out loud. "Like a nudist?" Toby asked. "I guess so," Noah replied. "That's cool," Toby said and he sounded almost impressed; "If I were you, I'd have a massive boner right now." "How massive?" Noah teased flirtatiously. This time Toby blushed. "Ok, maybe not massive but big enough," Toby promised. For the rest of the run Toby sneaked glances at Noah's naked chest, dick, legs and arse and Noah pretended not to notice. Noah was intrigued by Toby's interest and was trying to work out if it was just natural curiosity in another boy's naked body or genuine interest in his naked body in particular. Now was not the time to ask. When they reached Noah's house without any other surprises, Toby waited in Noah's room while Noah took a shower. The water cooled his skin and Noah took the opportunity to think about Toby in a new light. Tobias (Toby) Rosenthal was a few inches taller than Noah, more than three months older, his hair brown, eyes greenish and his nose was a cute little button in the middle of his face. Toby's legs sported sparse hair from his ankles up to his knees and a trace on his inner thigh; Toby also had a few hairs in the middle of his chest – few enough that Noah could probably count them- and a trail from his bellybutton to the "big enough" contents of his shorts. Noah's dick chubbed up a little when he thought about Toby's dick but he felt bad thinking about it. Noah tried not to pay too attention to his friends dicks but he had peeked at Toby, Samir and Matty once or twice. Or three, four or fifteen times. Not too much attention. Admittedly, Noah peeked at all the boys in the showers after PE or at the gym he infrequently attended. Now, Noah was positively fantasising. Noah fantasised about Toby - about kissing his friend and maybe having an experimental fumble. It felt strange but it wasn't like he was planning on dating his mate, it was just curiosity and convenience. Now that Noah had some experience, following his holiday romance with Philippe, he wanted to grope Toby's his dick even more. Noah didn't have to wonder what Toby's dick was like – he knew it was circumcised. Before peeking in the shower, Noah had wondered about that detail; he had assumed Toby was cut but then worried he assuming just because Toby was Jewish. Toby's mum and dad were Jewish – his dad rather orthodox but his mum placed emphasis on the -ish; the result was Toby a strong but conflicted attachment to his faith. Although he had sneaked a peek in the school showers, Noah had never seen Toby hard. Noah imagined a bloated cock for the purpose of a dry wank in the shower. He stroked his dick under the shower of water but stopped when he remembered Toby would be waiting for him and he had someone to kill. After drying off, Noah pulled on shorts and a vest and met Toby in his room but the excited charge that had fuelled their time in the woods and Noah's shower fantasy had already dissipated. Toby wanted to ask Noah more about his interest in nudism and Noah wanted to ask if Toby was interested in dicks but they both chickened out. Like typical boys, they avoided the talk; instead, they went outside to enjoy the longest day. It would be another two months before they ventured near the topic again... SATURDAY 22ND AUGUST 2020 (THE PRESENT) The sun rose at 6AM and it was already bright and warm when Noah jumped out of bed. The longest day had been two months ago but the days were still fourteen hours long and they sun was bright and hot most days. Summer was kind to the coastal locale of Noah's nudist explorations. In the end, Noah hadn't killed Daniel for stealing his shorts and setting him up to get caught by Toby. Dan did ask if anything happened and Noah told him about getting caught and being embarrassed but nothing else had happened. "You boys didn't... experiment after he saw you naked?" Dan asked with a grin. Noah blushed – because he had thought about it. What had stopped him asking Toby if he wanted to try things? Instead, a different question came to Noah's lips. "I don't even know if Toby is into boys. Did you and Jamie ever experiment?" Noah asked with curiosity. "Wouldn't you like to know," Daniel answered without really answering. Noah and Toby hadn't talked about it since but and he didn't mind the trick or the embarrassment or the fact Toby knew he was interested in nudism. However, Noah did feel cheated in a way. Like being outed before you're ready, or worse outed when you are ready but loss the chance to express yourself at the last moment. Noah and Toby had been close since they were four or five years old. They both attended the Five Dukes Boys School which was a fee-charging (expensive) independent school and were good friends with another two boys Samir and Mateo (Matty). Spring had been a strange time for the boys because they hadn't been able to spend as much time together because of corona virus. Schools had closed in March; exams had been cancelled and they were warned that seeing your friends might get granny killed. As Noah went on his morning run – he now checked his bag before leaving – he found himself thinking about the day Toby had caught him. In the months since then, they hadn't talked about it but there were things Noah wanted to tell Toby – like what happened in France – that couldn't be spoken about without reopening a conversation they had closed for months. Noah had never even told Toby he was gay and now he wanted to talk about boys, nudism and sucking a French boy? Noah's run on that August day was uneventful. Aside from getting caught by Toby, Noah had only been caught one other time. That time, he had spotted the interloper before being spotted himself. He'd pulled on his short shorts but stayed shirtless; the interloper was in his early twenties and looked at Noah with a gaping mouth and bulging eyes. The shorts Noah had packed were the bare minimum qualification of clothes and it tickled Noah to think of that lad in the woods almost as much as getting caught naked by Toby. Noah messaged Toby after his run and they spent the day in the park and then movies and Frankie & Benny's. Toby called to tell his parents he was staying over at Noah's. They would have invaded Samir and Mateo to join them but they were both on holiday. Perhaps it was meant to be that they were alone that night? They had spent months actively not talking about Noah's naked misadventure; it had hung like a white cloud in the summer sky – but it was still a cloud. They were sitting in Noah's room and the clock had just passed 11PM. Toby went to the bathroom to change for bed and Noah changed in his room while he was alone. He considered not putting clothes on and surprising Toby with another look at his penis, but that might have made Toby uncomfortable. Noah pulled on shorts and a sleeveless vest and Toby returned to the room in shorts and t-shirt. "Can I ask you something?" Toby asked. Noah was concentrating on FIFA 18 and thought Toby was trying to distract him but there was an edge in Toby's voice that leaked though and made Noah rethink. "Yea, you can ask," Noah replied. "Do you normally sit around in the buff when you're at home?" Toby asked. Noah was surprised. He hadn't decided how to broach the subject that had been on his mind since June, was it such a surprise that it had been on Toby's mind too? "Sometimes, I guess," Noah understated. Every fucking chance he got was the real answer. "We haven't really talked about this morning in the woods. You said you were a nudist, remember?" Toby asked. "How could I forget," Noah replied. "You can do it while I'm here if you want," Toby said bashfully. Noah paused the game. "Are you asking me to get naked?" Noah asked. "No!" Toby protested; "No, of course not. But if you wanted to... I wouldn't mind." "You wouldn't mind seeing me naked again?" Noah teased. "It's not like that," Toby huffed and mumbled; "I just... you said you did that at home and you're at home now and you don't need to not do it just because I'm here," Toby said with the words all running into each other. Noah could hear the care with which Toby was trying to sound nonchalant. "I've spent months wearing clothes whenever you're here and I could have been naked this whole time?" Noah jested. "I just want you to be comfortable," Toby laughed in return; "I'm trying to be supportive." This time Noah heard sincerity and he believed his buddy. Noah carelessly pulled at his vest and Toby saw his friend's nipple peek out. "I've never done it when other people are around," Noah admitted; "I mean Dan has seen me, I guess." "You mean... You walk around in just your pants in front of Dan?" Toby asked. "Well, I don't call them pants because I'm not five anymore," Noah giggled. Toby laughed too and Noah was excited by the smile on his friend's face and the possibilities that being naked in front of him might open up. Being naked with Philippe had worked out pretty well. "Dan sees me naked all the time... not just in my pants," Noah sniggered. "Your brother sees your... you let him look at your... isn't that weird?" Toby asked. "Maybe," Noah shrugged; "Dan thinks it's kind of funny but he's also really understanding." "I'm understanding," Toby said. "I guess I wouldn't mind taking my clothes off," Noah said enticingly. "Go on then," Toby encouraged. "Do you really want to see me naked, Toby?" Noah asked flirtatiously. Toby's expression changed and he grew serious. He knew what it sounded like: a boy asking another boy to get naked in front of him. Noah thought it was quite obvious he was gay but Toby's sexuality was a mystery and neither boy had ever directly asked the other "the" question. "If you want to ask me, just ask," Toby said. "Ask you what?" Noah asked nervously. "Are you gay?" Toby replied. "Wait... are you asking if I'm gay or saying I should ask if you're gay?" Noah wondered confusedly. "Don't be a prat," Toby replied with a grin. "Are you gay, Toby?" Noah asked. Bewilderingly, Toby looked unprepared for the question he had set himself up for. Toby shrugged; "I dunno... Are you gay?" "Yea," Noah admitted. Toby blinked at the instantaneous and carefree reply from his friend. "Ok," Toby accepted. "How can you not know?" Noah asked; "Do you fancy boys or not?" Toby sat back a little sulkily, he was hurt that Noah didn't understand. "It's not easy for everyone, you know," Toby admonished. "To admit to being gay?" Noah asked; "You can tell me anything..." "No," Toby interrupted; "To know if your gay or not. I said I don't know." Noah felt bad - he hadn't meant to open a can of worms tonight. "I'm sorry, Toby," said Noah; "I guess I've always known I was gay. If there was ever a time when I wasn't... I don't remember it." "Well I don't know," Toby said; "I'm not not-attracted to girls. And I look at guys sometimes but I'm not sure... and I don't know how it fits into what I believe..." Toby looked embarrassed. "It's alright," Noah assured him; "I guess I'm lucky it was so easy for me." Toby just nodded and a silence filled the room that neither boy was quite sure how to break. Noah finally broke it by pulling off his vest; Toby looked at Noah's skinny chest and little nipples and flat tummy. Then Noah hooked his thumbs into his shorts and pushed them down too; to get them off, Noah leaned back and lifted both his legs and Toby got an eyeful of Noah's hairless legs and hairless anus. Noah tossed the shorts across the room and he sat bare naked before his best mate. They didn't talk for a while - the boys returned to playing FIFA 2018 but Toby was more distracted by Noah's nudity than Noah was. "Can I ask you something?" Toby asked. It was the second time he'd asked that question. Noah thought it was a strange query, why not just ask the question? Who answered "no" to that question anyway? "No, you can't ask me something," Noah wanted to say but resisted. Instead he replied; "Sure." "How do you not get an instant boner when you're naked?" Toby wondered. Noah laughed and Toby felt silly for asking. "It gets easier but I used to get hard the second my clothes were off," Noah replied; "It kind of like staying soft when I'm totally naked... even in front of other people. I only get hard if I see something really arousing." "Have you taken any pictures of yourself?" Toby asked. Noah's smile said it all; "Yea. Everyone does, right? But I delete them right away." "You should put them on Sextr and see how popular you get," Toby suggested; "You're allowed shirtless pics." Noah already had a few shirtless pics on Sextr – a consistently popular one was of him shirtless in nothing but some little shorts and sporting a bulge. It hadn't been deliberately sexual when he took it but it was incidentally erotic. "You want me to take them now?" Noah asked. "It would be kinda fun to see them on your profile and know you're not just topless," Toby admitted. "Wanting to see shirtless boys online makes you sound kinda gay," Noah teased good naturedly and Toby took it as such. The game was abandoned and Noah took his Samsung S20 and snapped a few pictures of his head, shoulder and upper chest. Holding the phone in his right hand gave the camera a view of his almost hairless underarm, his taught sternum and ribs and the boyish curve of his abdomen. Any lower and the pathetic patch of pubes would have been in the pics, as it was, there was barely a hair in sight. Noah was the epitome of twink. "You really think I should add these to Sextr?" Noah asked. "Only if you want to. I'd be too chicken," Toby confessed; "But you never know who might be interested in meeting you if you put them up." Pictures added to your Sextr profile can be public, private or only visible to people you've added. User pics could be shared as part of one's profile, blog or dating profile. Or all three. Images added to Date-Me could be liked by any member who views your profile but matches were made in a similar way to Tinder. So, if you both swipe "like" then you get matched. Noah wasn't interested in dating and thought he was too young for random hook-ups with strangers. Noah was much more fascinated by Sextr's Task-Me function that allowed other users to send requests and set dares or challenges. Again, he was perhaps too young for the risquι suggestions but Sextr warned under eighteen's to be vigilant against possible groomers. Noah felt like he'd already accepted Task-Me's given his recent misadventures. He was young and daft enough not to think about the full consequences of his actions. That was obvious when he went running in the buff or on the beach in France naked, etc. Noah added the shirtless pictures and yawned. "It's getting late," Noah commented now that he'd seen the time displayed on his phone. "I'm gonna go brush my teeth," Toby said. Toby left the bedroom door open when he exited. Noah wouldn't have been bothered if Daniel passed by and saw him naked but Dan would have had questions about him being naked with Toby. Luckily Daniel didn't pass – nor did his best friend Jamie. Jamie had more or less lived in the spare room until March and hadn't moved back into the McNelis house yet. Noah wondered if he would and if it would be awkward given Noah's increasing comfort with nudity. Jamie had not been exposed to Noah's exposure yet. Noah was increasingly comfortable being naked around the house and thought it was only a matter of time before Dan's insanely hot best friend found out about his nudism. Noah knew the first time Jamie saw him naked would be the hardest, no pun intended. He also thought it was only a matter of time before Jamie saw him, whether Dan's friend moved back in or was just visiting. Toby came back and Noah took his turn. Toby watched the pert globes of Noah's ass as they left the room and he felt funny looking at his friend like that. It took a moment for Toby to realise Noah had left the room naked and that Daniel was in the house – a part of him had doubted Noah would really let his own brother see him like that but that doubt was now erased. When Noah came back in, he closed the door and crossed to his bed. Before, Noah had been sat on the floor while they played video games and he'd been cross-legged so this was the first really good look Toby had of his friend's dick. Toby was circumcised per the traditions of his religion so he found himself comparing more details. Noah was uncut, the foreskin closed over the head of the penis which was short and nestled close to the testes that were a little bit fuzzy rather than hairy. The patch of hair above Noah's dick was small which made the flaccid organ look perky and bigger than it might have if surrounded by a bush of pubes. Noah was not embarrassed about having a dick that was small when flaccid, to him a dick was meant to be that way; porn stars had big softies but normal guys had small dicks that grew. "I can see you looking," Noah said. "Sorry," Toby said and he was mortified by his indiscretion. "It's ok," Noah shrugged. "It's ok that I'm looking at your dick?" Toby asked incredulously. "If you're not sure if you're gay, it's probably a good idea to look at some dicks and see if you like them," Noah said and couldn't hold the titter out of his voice. Toby blushed again. "I don't get to look at many dicks," Toby joked but was still blushing. "Have you ever heard of the internet?" Noah joked. "I mean in real life," Toby replied. "You don't peek in the boys showers?" Noah asked. "I'm too busy getting out of there as fast as I can. I wouldn't want to get caught anyway," Toby said reasonably. Noah stood up and put his hands behind his head, exposing his armpits and every inch of his body. "You can look at mine, I don't mind," Noah said. Toby could not believe that Noah would stand like that but he also couldn't tear his eyes away. Noah's pose was so striking and all-exposing that Toby barely knew where to start. His eyes darted everywhere. "You... you can touch it if you want," Noah said and it was the first time he had sounded nervous. Toby was aware he was only in a loose pair of shorts and a t-shirt so there would be no hiding a stiffy if he got one. Toby moved closer until he could see the very texture of Noah's skin; it carried a summer tan but was flawlessly smooth and Toby had no need to ask why there were no tan lines. "Touch me," Noah whispered. Toby's eyes shot to Noah's and they both understood that this was a change in their friendship that would be profound and serious. Toby's arms were at his sides but he put his hands on Noah's hips and slid them around to grip the buttocks. After having a good feel, Toby's hands worked back to the front and fingers inched towards Noah's penis and testicles. There was no trace of hair, fuzz or stubble until his fingertips met Noah's scrotum. The sac was silky and soft and just the faintest fuzz of hair like the head of a dandelion. Toby's right hand held both testicles in the palm and weighed them with interest. The left hand slowly brushed through the naturally neat and tidy bundle of hair sitting above Noah's dick; once his hand was directly above Noah's cock, his thumb nestling in Noah's belly button, his hand slowly worked down until it covered Noah's penis. Noah still was not hard but his dick had puffed up a bit and expanded to three inches, with the foreskin starting to peel open. Toby seemed fascinated by this while his fingers ran down the centre of the half-hard shaft until it met the tip of Noah's dick. "Pull it back," Noah said in whisper. Toby swallowed and his fingertips pressed down and moved back up the shaft, peeling the foreskin back with it. Noah's dick got a bit harder and when Toby took the head of his cock in his hand, Noah was sure he'd shoot right there. Noah held it back, then Toby let go of the fully hard cock and it bobbed, sticking straight out, waiting for further attention. Noah's dick did its thing and started leaking; weeping pre-cum to the fascination of Toby. "Are you ok?" Noah asked his friend. "Yea... yea, I think so," but he didn't sound certain; "Does it always leak like that?" Noah giggled, "Yes." "Neat." "I'm going to go to bed... do you want to share the bed tonight?" Noah asked. Normally Toby slept in a sleeping bag on the floor - not that there wasn't a spare room he could use but the boys liked to talk into the wee hours - but tonight wasn't normal. "No funny business unless you're really keen," promised Noah gently. "Ok," Toby agreed. The boys slipped into bed and Toby's leg brushed against Noah's. Toby was aware of a silky-smooth leg and Noah felt soft yet prickly hairs on Toby's leg. Under the covers, the boys lay side by side and weren't sure what to do next. "I forgot to put the light off," Noah said after a moment. He climbed over Toby and out of bed. Noah turned off the light and Toby again felt press of his nude friends before returning to his side of the bed. The only light in the room was from the window behind them which threw in moonlight and streetlight and cast shadows of all shapes and sizes. "Do you want to feel mine?" Toby asked in a voice that was so light Noah almost missed it. "Is that ok?" Noah asked. "Yea," Toby answered. Toby was lying on his back but Noah turned on his side and then put a hand on Toby's tummy. The t-shirt was soft Noah could almost feel Toby's heartbeat; Noah's hand slipped lower and tucked under the t-shirt so his hand was in contact with bare skin. Noah's hand pushed the t-shirt up a little and rested over the belly button. He could feel a very faint treasure trail beneath his hand and his fingertips followed that trail to the waistband of Toby's shorts. Noah felt Toby breath in and hold his breath, sucking in his tummy and creating a little gap between his skin and the waistband of the shorts. Noah slipped his fingers into the gap and felt the bush of pubes above his friend's dick. The bush was bigger than his and as fingers continued Noah found a plump penis with a head that was already exposed. Unlike his cock, which leaked like a tap, the head of Toby's dick was almost dry. Noah's preseminal fluid leakage was insane son in comparison the pre-cum emitted by Toby's dick. As it got harder, Noah smeared a drop of pre-cum as it would go all over the head of Toby's dick; without warning he pulled his hand free and pulled down Toby's shorts. Toby was agreeable to his, lifting his bum so the shorts could come down and he took them off entirely. Toby lifted them from his feet and put them on the floor beside the bed where he could reach them. Noah's hand was gripping Toby's dick and stroking it with enthusiasm - he was fully hard at six inches (no rounding up for Toby). Toby turned his head to look at Noah who looked quite content with his activity. Toby reached under the covers and lifted the bottom of his t-shirt, pulled it up and off and put it on the floor too. Toby was now naked too. Toby turned to face Noah, who moved closer so their bodies pressed together. The only thing between them was Noah's fist, still wrapped abound Toby's cock. Noah slipped a leg between Toby's and carried on stroking. Toby didn't make any move to touch Noah but that was ok. The sensation of getting jerked off by another hand was... confusing. Toby found a pressing in his chest that was not from contact with Noah's skinny torso. It was guilt. It wasn't just that Toby didn't know if he was gay, he didn't know if he wanted to be gay. Toby pulled away and turned on his back. Noah didn't seem to mind. "Can you put your arms behind your head for a sec?" Noah asked. "Why?" enquired Toby. "I want to see your pits," Noah admitted. Toby did so and Noah moved his face closer until Toby could feel Noah's nose brushing the hair. Noah's tongue tasked the moist and wiry pit of Toby's arm and then his lips moved to Toby's nearest nipple. "Ooooh," Toby let out a little sound of pleasure. Noah kept jerking his mate but with his free hand he felt across Toby's chest, feeling a few hairs in the centre and fingers making their way to the opposite armpit. When they found the axilla, Toby laughed and squirmed and Noah didn't stop the unintentional tickling until Toby told him to. "Stop, please stop," Toby said through giggles. Noah had to stop kissing and licking and sucking Toby's nipple to respond. "Do you want me to stop the other stuff too?" Noah asked facetiously. Toby wanted to say yes. But he didn't really want that... did he. Sexual arousal won over his niggling doubts. His orthodox faith told him this was wrong but he still wanted it. "No... only if you don't want to..." Toby replied. "Oh, I want to," Noah replied. Noah propped himself up and cast the sheet aside so he was exposed but he left Toby covered; he instinctively knew Toby wouldn't want to be revealed. With the lights off, the room was largely shrouded anyway. Reaching under the covers, the feel of Toby's cock in Noah's hand was awesome, he could feel the blood and veins and hot skin. It was just awesome. Toby was getting very hot as his cock was stroked. Tentatively, Toby reached out and put his hand on Noah's bare hip, caressing the beautiful skin and spurring himself towards reciprocity but his conscience was troubling him. "Noah... I'm not ready to... return the favour," Toby said sheepishly. "That's ok," Noah said – honestly not minding: "Is there anything terribly important you want to ask in the next few minutes?" "Eh, no. Why?" Toby answered. "Because my mouth is going to be busy," Noah replied. Before Toby could think what that meant, Noah's head ducked into Toby's groin and took Toby's cock in his mouth to give him a blowjob. Toby gasped - he'd never felt something suck on his dick like that before. Noah's mouth was hot and moist and his friend's tongue was doing things he'd never felt before. Toby could feel his balls churn towards a climax that he was trying to stall for a few more minutes. Noah was able to take almost the entire shaft in his mouth; Noah stopped to lick the head and kiss the tip and then slipped his lips over the mushroom again and... "I'm gonna cum," Toby warned. Noah's left hand was fondling Toby's balls but his right hand was on Toby's stomach, which Noah patted to confirm he'd heard before sending Toby over the edge. Toby shot his spunk into Noah's mouth and unbelievably Noah swallowed it. When his cock was finally released it was still engorged but it was slippery and sticky and spent. Noah accepted that Toby was in a different stage of his sexual exploration so hadn't expected reciprocity. But that didn't mean he couldn't get something. "Do you want to watch me?" Noah asked. Noah had been watched while masturbating before but the idea of a friend watching him took it to a new level. Toby nodded in the gloom and allowed his eyes to wander over his naked friend. The light was imperfect but good enough to see Noah's nudity, six(ish) inch dick and the blur of a fast hand. Noah must have been horny because he was making little moans that indicated he was already close. In the pale light, Toby could see slippery strands of pre-cum leaking copiously over Noah's hand and onto his abdomen. Toby reached over and lay a hand on Noah's thigh, caressing it was a light touch that was sensual and very effective. Toby's hand edged into Noah's inner thigh and slid up until his fingertips nearly, bud not quite, touched Noah's scrotum. A moment later, Noah shot his load of jizz over his chest and abdomen and he pumped for an extra minute to make sure it was all out. "Oh fuck," Noah said at last as the orgasm subsided. "That was really neat," Toby commented uncertainly. "We should do it again," Noah agreed. "Are you going to stay naked more often?" Toby asked. Toby's pangs of uncertainty and guilt remained but his orgasm had taken the edge off. "You know... I just might," Noah agreed. Toby handed Noah four tissues to mop up the spunk and they were discarded by tossing them on the floor, leaving them wherever they landed. Toby reached out of bed and put his shorts back on but he left the t-shirt off. He was not inspired by Noah's nudism but it was a warm night and after getting jerked and sucked by his best friend, being topless seemed just fine. "So, are you going for a run in the morning?" Toby asked with a grin. "Maybe... you can come if you like," Noah suggested. "I just might," Toby agreed but he already had pangs of doubt about what he'd done with Noah. "Cool," Noah replied sleepily, blissfully unaware of Toby's turmoil.
